He lets her go, and she wanders the halls, noting how huge the place is and musing over her depression at being there. Seychelles answers that she'll do her best, even if her flag and national emblem are lame and she'll surely be bullied.īack at the school, England lists off more rules to Seychelles:Įngland orders her to come to the student council room after her class is over, as her work for him starts today. Seychelles states that the only friends she has on the island are the sea life, but her grandfather insists that she'll be able to succeed if she tries hard. We fade to a brief beach flashback of Seychelles, as an old man (her grandfather) converses with her about her departure to the outside world. Seychelles becomes furious, and screams at England, calling him an "Eyebrow Bastard". He warns that if she tries to flee, he'll invade her house. Seychelles becomes upset by this notion, while England orders that as his territory, she must do everything he says and work under him, as he is the president of the student council. Seychelles notices that the second and third rules are contradictory, but an irritable England explains that everything ends in rule 3, no matter how friendly they may look. England lists the first three rules of the school off to her: He clamps a dog collar around her neck as he declares her to be his new colony (much to her horror and his amusement). Suddenly, she is approached by England, who asks which country she's supposed to be. While in the past, she was rich and strong, she is now poor and useless, only able to sing, dance, and make souvenirs. She laments at how "terrible" the world is, and at her lack of talents and confidence. Seychelles explains that she was living peacefully in her set of islands, but that the European nations forced her to enroll at the academy. She mentions that all nations must attend it at least once in their life, though Switzerland has perpetually skipped school and nobody can do anything about it due to fear of his explosive temper. She narrates that the school was founded recently and that it imparts education to other countries in hopes of achieving world peace. Seychelles arrives at her new school, looking around at the vast campus. 3.2 Bad End (England): Welcome To Team Axis.3 Endings (Game Screenplay, incomplete).2 Additional Scenes (Game Screenplay from 2007/8, incomplete).Local in its specificity and transnational in its scope, this book highlights the creativity of queer fan practices while critically locating them within the political and social structures that produce them. It also shows how the Chinese-speaking world is home to dense and often conflicting modes of audience reception of cultural texts deriving from Sinophone, Japanese, and Western contexts.” -Mark McLelland, University of Wollongong “An exciting anthology by a talented group of emergent scholars whose vibrant studies offer fresh insights on the diverse practices and transregional flows of queer fandom in the Chinese-speaking world. “This important collection complicates our understanding of fan practices, showing how national and regional factors play an important role in how media texts and identities are understood. The geographic organization of the chapters illuminates cultural differences and the other competing forces shaping geocultural intersections among fandoms based in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Presenting a wide array of concrete case studies of queer fandoms in Chinese-speaking contexts, the essays in this volume challenge long-established Western-centric and Japanese-focused fan scholarship by highlighting the significance and specificities of Sinophone queer fan cultures and practices in a globalized world. It further outlines the performance of subjectivity, identity, and agency that cyberspace offers to female fans. Moving beyond the easy polarities between general resistance and capitulation, Queer Fan Cultures explores the fans’ diverse strategies in negotiating with cultural strictures and media censorship. Contributors to this collection situate the proliferation of (often online) queer representations, productions, fantasies, and desires as a reaction against the norms in discourses surrounding nation-states, linguistics, geopolitics, genders, and sexualities.
The title of this pioneering volume, Boys’ Love, Cosplay, and Androgynous Idols: Queer Fan Cultures in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan already gives an idea of the colorful, multifaceted realms the fans inhabit today.
